Master of Science [M.S] [Engineering] From San Jose State University

The program is designed to provide flexibility for students who need course work that is truly interdisciplinary and not available through the other Engineering programs in the College. The MSE programs typically include courses from at least three different programs in the College of Engineering and may also use courses in the College of Science or the College of Business. Courses are provided in four specified option areas and also in a Special option for more customized programs. Emphasis areas have been defined within each of the options to allow students to specialize within the option. The Special option currently includes programs such as Bioinformatics, Electronic Materials and Devices, Environmental Health and Safety, Green Technology and Special Emphasis. Programs are offered primarily on-campus but there are also some specialized programs offered off-campus, such as the accelerated joint degree MSE/MBA, which is offered in coordination with the College of Business. Additional off-campus specialized engineering graduate programs have been established at local industry sites, including BAE, Lockheed, and KLA-Tencor. The MSE programs include participation with local industry professionals as committee members and sponsors of Master's projects and theses.
